Off Constantly News and Schedules
I have been approached by a few of our friends at Predator Paintball (Salisbury, NC) that have expressed interest in speedball and want to give it a try. So, because of this interest, I would like to welcome any of you guys to come practice with us anytime you would like (just let me know so I can arrange paint). If you would like to work on some skills at Predator before a day of play, just let me know and I would be happy to show you what I can.
I also would like to announce the formation, if there is enough interest, of a beginner Speedball team to play either some smaller events in the area or the CFOA next season. Those of you that would like to try another form of paintball and think you have what it takes; see me at the field, send me a message through the website or email and let me know.
Off Constantly would like to thank our main sponsor for 2007 & 2008 and welcome our new sponsors for the 2008 season. Holshouser Cycle Shop and Predator Paintball, the best sponsor a team could ever want. Our two new sponsors are Smart Parts (best markers in the world) and Pro Caps Direct (best paintball supplier in the country) without all of these special people the season would not be possible for us.
Please check our sponsor links to find some of the best products & services in the world today.

News on next event
Our next event for the 2008 season is July 26 & 27 The Carolina Classic @ PBC Sports Park in Rock Hill, SC. We will field at least one team for this event (Off Constantly).
To recap our goals for this season they are: to make the semi finals at least once and finish the season in the top twenty of our division. As of right now we are on track to be in the top twenty and we are REAL close to being in the semis.
Dustin and Larry were a great addition and added a new dimension to our game this lasy event. We are playing really tuff against the other teams and we are not a push over as we have been in past seasons.
This next event is shaping up to be a step up towards our goals for this season. I have been here from the very beginning and this team is on the steps of becoming a force that most teams will worry over. That is a great feeling.
Recap of our last event
June 28 & 29 Peach State Challenge @ Dynamic Games Supplies in Winder, GA.
We won two and lost four. Of our four loses we really played the other teams hard. But each game had something in common; we had a one for one (ref pulled one guy plus a teammate) penalty on us in each game. The refs were really hard on the playing on penalties today. In the first game big Chris got pulled because the ref felt he should have known he was hit and they pulled me. Second game; Lil Chris got one for turning on the guy bunkering him and they pulled me. Third game; we won. Fourth game; Dustin got a playing on penalty and they pulled big Chris. Fifth game; saw me get the playing on penalty, they pulled Big Chris. Sixth game; we won.
The penalties killed us today, of that there is no doubt. There are a few that would say we were cheating and just wasn't good enough not to get caught. That could not be the furthest thing from the truth. The refs were really tuff on those calls today. Three of the penalties were a little over the top. Sort of like an umpire calling balls and strikes. If the ump sees it as a strike, it is a strike and no amount of arguing is going to change that. The penalties killed us this weekend but it was because of the level of play we are at. It wasn't like we were trying to cheat. We were really keyed up and going after these teams (which were some of the best) with all that we had. Of the four penalties, only one was an actual playing on (in my opinion). The other three were very questionable. For instance; Big Chris had paint on his back near his right shoulder blade but absolutely no shell. Not sure where the shot could have even come from but without shell it could have been from over the net from the field next to us or happened before we walked onto the field. Dustin's playing on penalty was a little harsh (the head ref of the event agreed to this). Dustin was down on his knees playing a dorito and where his leg was bent he took a glancing shot (right were his pants were sort of puffed out) and there is no way he could have felt it. Mine was just plan stupid. I had my dip can in my front pocket and took a shot going into my bunker. Normally I would have felt it but it hit the can and I did not feel it. The reff did not care that I had something in my pocket (that was my problem). He was right but it doesn't make it go down any easier.
Now, I don't want this to seem like one of those "if the refs hadn't cheated..." or "the refs beat us" commentaries. Would we have won the four matches without those calls? That is hard to say. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows, but our chances would have certainly been better if we hadn't lost two guys in each match.
Coming into this event we were in 23rd place overall. After this event we should have moved up into the top 20. Won't know this till they put the final scores out later this week.
Bottom line to all this is; Off Constantly is playing better than we ever have. This is coming from refs, other event staff and other teams. We are actually playing as a team and it is starting to show. Heck; we are so close, as a team, that we all got sun burned this Sunday after the event together. If that isn't team work, I don't know what is.
I know I'm sounding like a broken record (for you young folks, that is a thing they used to put music on. It's like a CD) but we are really getting much better and I am very proud of my guys. We have been putting in the extra time at practice to run drills before the other teams get there and it is showing in our level of play. Teams that use to put their scrub players on the field when they had to play us are now taking us more seriously.

Recap of our 2008 season
May 24 & 25 - River Jam @ Insane Paintball in Chattanooga, TN
Due to money and work concerns we only took one team to this event. Because of the penalty from the China Grove event we had to play our first two games one man down. We worked on this during practice and applied what we learned, in practice, at the event.
For this event we had Nathan play 'D' side, lil Chris played snake, Big Chris played snake support, Jeshua played center and, of course, I played center home. We made our bunkers off the break all day, played smart and shot faces all day. We were zero and four after the first four games. We put our heads together and went after the two hardest teams on our schedule in the last two games and won both. Great finish to a great day.
I've said before how proud of my guys I have been but this event really showed me what our team is made of. Our record for the day was two wins and four losses. We beat the third and sixteenth ranked team in our division. Three of the teams that beat us moved on to the semi-finals and two of those finished first and second in the event.
We did get mowed one time (didn't shoot any of the players out on the other team) but we played four minutes and thirty seconds (five minute games) and shot most of our paint. Not sure how we didn't get any one but that is the breaks of the game. Other than that game, we played tuff all day and got real close in the other three games that we lost. We shot at least three people out in each game and made the other team work hard for their win.
Over all we had a great day. We played hard, had a good time, and earned a lot of respect from other teams that never thought much of us. I was stopped all day by other teams and told we really looked good and were making it tuff on the teams that were playing us.
Again, I'm very proud of my guys. They didn't let the fact we were playing one man down or bad calls or even bad games get us down. We took each game as they came and gave each one our best. We laughed and joked with each other all day and had a great time. This was the event were the team came together and proved to other teams that we will be a team to reckon with this season.
April 26 & 27 - Tarheel Open @ Carolina Paintball Park in China Grove, NC
This event was our first with two teams. We played as Off Constantly and Off Constantly Too.
Off Constantly started the day off right with a win in our first game. In our second game; we played very strong and it was looking good for us until two of our players made attempts to bump forward. The bumps were ill timed and right into the other teams guns. As I walked off to the dead box I noticed one of our players standing on the side line with a bunch of ref's and they were holding his marker. I knew that was not going to be good. Sure enough, one of our players guns went into "stupid" mode. It was shooting 19 bps (six balls a second over the max limit we are allowed). The penalty, for this mistake, was a six game suspension for the player and the team has to play the next six games, one man down. The team took this in stride, changed our game plan and went back after it. We played tuff the rest of the day and even got close to a win against two of the best teams in our division, despite our being short handed.
I was (and still am) very proud of the guys that played for Off Constantly this event. We did not let the penalty get us down and continued our day with more determination than I've ever seen from Off Constantly. I've said it before but it needs to be repeated; Off Constantly is truly coming together as a team and our future is truly going to be great.
Off Constantly Too had a ruff day. From my prospective (because I played with Off Constantly today and was not able to watch many of their games) it appeared the main problem was not being used to each other. After a few more practices and events; I have no doubt they will find their footing as a team or squad and their true playing abilities will come out.
Over all, I think both teams made a strong showing of themselves this event.
March 29, 2008 - Queen City Masters @ PBC Sports Park in Rock Hill, SC
Again, due to school and work obligations we could only field one team in this event and played as Off Constantly Too. This event was, by far, the best event that Off Constantly has had to date. We had learned from our first event and really played as a team.
Of our six games we won two and lost four. Of the six teams we played four went on to place in the top five of the tournament. One of those team (fifth place team) we beat in our fifth game. We placed 21st out of 33 teams. The team that won this event we played to a one on one but could not pull out the win.
Team Off Constantly made a great showing this event and we showed that we are jelling as a team.
March 16, 2008 - Evil Doers 3-man @ Wolverine Paintball in Hendersonville, NC
Four of our players (Joe, Drexel, Whit, and Adam) got together March 16, 2008 and played the Evil Doers three man event at Wolverine Paintball in Hendersonville, NC. After some pretty stiff competition they finished second. Off Constantly won 4 of 6 preliminary games and advanced to a round-robin finals bracket held for 4 out of 7 teams. In the finals round, Off Constantly played 3 games...lost the first match, tied the second (all players were eliminated on both teams...last two players shot each other simultaneously), and won the third match with a team run-through off the break.
As co-captain I would like to say that I'm very proud of these guys. They got together with very little practice between them and pulled a second place. Great job. More importantly they represented our team and sponsors with the attitude that we expect out of our players.
Great job guys!
February 23, 2008 - Dirty South Open @ Windy Hill Paintball in McDonough, GA
For our first event of the 2008 season we only took one team due to school and work commitments of some of our players and played as Off Constantly. Our first event of the year was not what any of us thought it would be. All that can be said is we did not do well. We learned a lot though. It appears that our main problem that day was first of the season jitters. We all resolved that we would correct this for the next event. We went one of six for the day and finished the day 32nd of 33 teams.
